Global "Upload to Agent" dropzone overlay prevents drag-and-drop file management in terminal and file explorer

Google Antigravity
1

Since v1.18.3, dragging any file into the Antigravity window triggers a full-window “Upload
to Agent” overlay that intercepts all drop events. This makes it impossible to:

  • Drag images or files into the integrated terminal
  • Move files between folders in the file explorer sidebar
  • Reorganize project assets via drag-and-drop

The overlay covers the entire window frame and cannot be dismissed or bypassed through
normal interaction.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open any project in Antigravity v1.18.3+
  2. Drag a file (e.g. an image) from Finder/Explorer toward the terminal or file explorer
    sidebar
  3. Observe: a full-screen “Upload to Agent” overlay appears immediately
  4. The file is sent to the agent context instead of being dropped at the intended target

Expected Behavior

Drag-and-drop should work as before:

  • Dropping a file on the terminal should insert the file path
  • Dropping a file on a folder in the sidebar should move/copy it there
  • “Upload to Agent” should only activate when dropping on the agent chat area, or require a
    modifier key (e.g. Shift) to distinguish intent

Current Workarounds

  • Use Cmd+C / Cmd+V to copy files from Finder into Antigravity folders
  • Right-click folder > “Upload…” context menu
  • Downgrade to a pre-1.18.3 version (not sustainable long-term)

Suggested Fix

  • Exclude the file explorer sidebar and terminal from the global dropzone
  • Or add a modifier key (e.g. hold Shift to upload to agent, default drop = file system
    operation)
  • Or restrict the dropzone to the agent chat panel only

Environment

  • Antigravity version: 1.18.3
  • OS: macOS (Sequoia)

I’m also facing this same issue, it’s annoying, we have to manually manage all of that outside Antigravity.

We are still facing the same issue. Also folder cannot drag to terminal to prompt out its path.

Still facing this issue today (1st June 2026) my workaround is to use cmd + option + c on the image to copy the path and pasting it into Codex CLI/Claude Code on the terminal

Would love this to be fixed as i enjoy using Antigravity otherwise
